The introduction of an updated WM Series II range in September will mark the debut of the Holden Caprice V-Series. The sports luxury V-Series designation matches that of other premium Holdens and identifies this model as top-of-the-range.

Completing the line-up is the Caprice Series II, which shares the stretched silhouette, 18-inch alloy wheels and strong design character of its counterpart. With this move, Holden discontinues its long-running Statesman nameplate.

The touch-screen system also supports full colour mapping satellite navigation with traffic alerts and a rear view camera. Both features are included as standard. The Caprice V-Series offers further inducements, among them a sunroof, exclusiveb full Nappa leather trim and interior appointments, dual-screen rear DVD (which also plays through the Holden-iQ touch screen when the car is stationary), a Bose® premium audio system and Tri-zone climate control.

The new Caprice and Caprice V-Series are also differentiated by powertrain availability.
Caprice V-Series is equipped with Holden’s 260 kW 6.0 litre Generation IV V8, teamed with 6-speed automatic transmission with Active Select and featuring fuel-saving Active Fuel Management (AFM) technology. Emphasising Holden’s commitment to producing vehicles that are more affordable to run and which reduce environmental impact through lower C02 emissions, Caprice V-Series also offers ‘fuel of the future’ bio-ethanol capability, also known as E85.

Fuel economy (ADR081/01) is 12.3 litres/100km, a two per cent improvement on the previous Caprice. The Caprice Series II is powered by a 210 kW SIDI Direct Injection V6, with 6-speed automatic transmission with Active Select. Fuel economy (ADR081/02) is 9.9 litres/100km, a four per cent improvement on the previous V6 model. C02 emissions are also reduced by four per cent.
